BOSTON — An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries has just published a study titled “Greening of the Earth and its Drivers” in the journal Nature Climate Change showing significant greening of a quarter to one-half of the Earth’s vegetated lands using data from the NASA-MODIS and NOAA-AVHRR satellite sensors of the past 33 years. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees. Green leaves produce sugars using energy in the sunlight to mix carbon dioxide (CO2) drawn in from the air with water and nutrients pumped in from the ground. These sugars are the source of food, fiber and fuel for life on Earth. More sugars are produced when there is more CO2 in the air, and this is called CO2 fertilization.https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/04/25/inconvenient-study-co2-fertilization-greening-the-earth/

Russian electronic-warfare powerhouseKRET—Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies—has started testing a powerful new ground-based jamming system that could cut the crucial data-links that enable the United States military to conduct operations around the world. The system is designed to be used in conjunction with advanced Russian-built air defense systems like the S-300V4 and S-400 to disrupt air operations. http://atimes.com/2016/04/how-russias-advantage-in-electronic-warfare-could-ground-us-air-force/

Understand then that life is for the making of the call, for the proving of the Law (as Above, so below)! There is no need to get on the toboggan that goes downhill just because the (worldly) impulse is there, just because the (worldly) projection is there! You must set your mark and set your goal on attainment and realize that through attainment you may have all things (of good in balance and proportion) and all things are truly the dream of love of your heart. -Lanello: 2-26-1982 at Camelot, Los Angeles
